CERAMIC MEMBRANE TREATMENT PLANT

The ceramic membrane fi ltration plant is a fl exible unit for using

ceramic membranes for low pressure MF and UF applications. The plants

can be confi gured to run higher pressure UF/NF applications as well as

other tubular membranes (inorganic or polymeric).

The plant can be setup to test a variety of membrane pore sizes, operating

parameters (pressure, trans membrane pressure, cross-fl ow rate,

temperature, back pulsing, etc.), and feed channel diameters (3mm, 4mm,

and 6mm) to achieve optimal performance.

The ceramic membranes are available in a range of pore sizes or molecular

weight cutoffs (MWCO): MF/UF membranes from 5 micron to 0.02 micron;

UF/NF membranes of 5,000 and 1,000 MWCO.

The plant can be operated in: batch mode, semi-batch mode, or feed and

bleed mode. The pilot plant design has a single stage recirculation loop.

The membrane fi ltration pilot plant is skid mounted and will be delivered

with all the components required for quick installation and easy operation,

including an operating manual with data sheet templates.

MODULAR DESIGN

Modular basic unit that can be cascaded together to customize for an application

Three modular plants are cascaded to provide a wastewater

treatment solution for oil fi eld produced water to meet regulatory

discharge standards.

Two UF and NF modular plants are cascaded to

provide the treatment solution for effl uent from a

textile industrial plant.

PROCESS KNOWLEDGE CONFIGURATION

In order to provide effl uent treatment solutions to a wide sector of

the industries, all operational process parameter are programmable:

These include

• Pressure and fl ow rate (P1, F)

• TMP: trans-membrane pressure (P1-P2)

• Temperature of feed (T) to be maintained by a control system

• Programmable process valves switching system to confi gure and

direct the fl ow of the feed, concentrate, permeate between/within

each cascade module.

• Programmable backfl ush system to remove materials from the

membrane surface to restore production effi ciency.

• Programmable Clean-In-Place (CIP) system for monthly chemical

cleaning of the ceramic membrane to ensure peak performance.

• With our in depth knowledge of the process parameters for

different industrial applications, each process and system can be

optimized to meet all regulatory requirements. By selecting from

our process knowledge database, this knowledge is downloaded

into the system controller to customize this system for a specifi c

application.
